A design model can be 2D or 3D. To create a more complex design, multiple design models can be referenced to each other at one to one, thus forming a design composition. A sheet model is used to define printed output ready for printing or publishing. A sheet model is always 2D, and the best practice is to draw it for one to one paper size. Design models are attached as references, and scaled to fit the sheet. Each reference in a sheet composition can have its own attachment scale, allowing you to create a print sheet with multiple scales. A drawing model has always 2D and stores a subset of 2D or 3D design model or design composition. It can be used to compose a drawing with global annotation, allowing you to separate the annotations…
